“I don’t think it’s necessary for us to invest, but what you said, honey, is not entirely unreasonable.”
"The only thing to do now is to do everything we can to get Boss Zhou to give up the shop."
Jiang Manyue remained steadfast in her decision.
Seeing her stubbornness, Lu Fan decided against using drastic measures.
After all, he was the one who went to negotiate, so he was the one who knew the situation best.
"Honey, how about we think about it from a different angle? Think about it, if we invest, we'll be one step closer to becoming the legal representative. Let me explain why."
Seeing that Lu Fan seemed eager to reason with her, Jiang Manyue couldn't help but speak up:
"It seems we've gathered quite a bit of information, but ultimately, we can't afford to waste our money."
“Investing is inherently risky. Investing in Rella CAFE is not about how much you make.”
"In my opinion, it would be better to keep the money and use it to renovate the shop."
Seeing that Jiang Manyue had spoken first, Lu Fan was not in a hurry and slowly continued the conversation.
"That's true, all investments carry risks. We all know how successful Kelila CAFE is right now. Their daily turnover is substantial, so we won't lose money by investing."
"On the contrary, we gained a sliver of an opportunity. This way, Boss Zhou will not only think that we have given up on the plan to take over the store, but also that my investment has brought them benefits. Both sides have their own objectives, and the obvious problems have been resolved."
"Hey honey, I suddenly think your delaying tactic might actually work. But you'll still have to handle the rest, and my current condition makes things very inconvenient."
Jiang Manyue now places all her hopes on Lu Fan.
She hoped Lu Fan could help her take over the shop because she really liked it.
"Of course, your husband's ideas are always feasible."
"And I've thought about it, and one thing is true: we need to keep Boss Zhou in suspense for now."
“I went to see her every day, which made her feel that I really wanted to win over Rella Cafe. So she never felt threatened.”
“If you don’t go to see her every few days, you’ll naturally start to worry. You’ll wonder why there’s been no follow-up even though you’ve already reached an agreement.”
After Lu Fan finished speaking.
Jiang Manyue seemed to have figured it out, and then quickly changed her attitude.
"Honey, what you're saying actually makes a lot of sense. Instead of going to see her every day, it's better to just leave her alone. How do you manage to manipulate people so perfectly?"
Jiang Manyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu Fan's exaggerated expression.
If she hadn't been quick-witted back then, she probably would have been completely under Lu Fan's control long ago.
"I'm definitely completely under my wife's thumb. Besides, my wife is so smart and beautiful, with both high emotional and intellectual intelligence. Of course, I'm no match for you."
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he started sticking close to Jiang Manyue, just like a clingy big dog.
Since Lu Fan returned, Jiang Manyue has truly felt his concern and meticulous care.
And it was only because of this that Lu Fan's status in Jiang Manyue's heart gradually rose.
"You just can't shake this glib habit. Do you talk like this to other women too?"
"How could that be? I'd only treat my wife like this. I'd be too busy being good to you to even think about being good to someone else." Seeing Jiang Manyue's jealous expression, Lu Fan found her even more adorable.
The two of them started arguing on the sofa, completely unaware that Wu Hui was slowly approaching.
After coming down from the second floor, Wu Hui was restless.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got downstairs, I saw the young couple laughing and joking around.
Lu Fan almost knocked Jiang Manyue to the ground, which Wu Hui saw clearly.
Startled, she rushed over, thinking the two were fighting.
He couldn't wait to pull the two apart: "What are you two doing!"
The young couple stood up awkwardly when they saw Wu Hui coming over: "Mom, why did you come over!"
"If I hadn't come over soon, someone would have died. Tell me, how far along are you in your pregnancy? How can you still endure this? Tell me what you were doing on the sofa just now. I saw it all clearly."
Without thinking twice, Wu Hui immediately gave Lu Fan a lecture.
The two looked at each other for a moment, but dared not show any expression.
Fearing that Wu Hui would discover something amiss, Jiang Manyue originally thought it was nothing.
It was just a minor squabble between the two of them, but what they feared most came to pass, and Wu Hui happened to witness it.
"Mom, we were just joking. Don't take it too seriously, it's nothing. Besides, the doctor said pregnant women need to exercise more. We just have to follow the doctor's orders, right?"
Lu Fan started showing off again, regardless of who the other party was.
But Wu Hui wasn't someone who could be easily fooled; she was always very serious.
"Is this what you call exercise? I think if I hadn't come, you two would have started fighting."
"Mom, it's not as serious as you say. You're just overthinking it. Don't worry, I'll take good care of the baby in Yueyue's belly, there won't be any problems."
Lu Fan sighed, feeling helpless at Wu Hui's constant worrying.
Normally, we don't pay attention to these things, but we can catch a critical moment, like right now, when we encounter this kind of situation.
Anyone else would have let them off the hook, but Wu Hui was no ordinary person.
After Wu Hui slowly sat down on the sofa, she began to instill good ideas in the two of them.
"Yueyue, you're quite far along in your pregnancy now. You have to be extra careful with everything you do and eat. And you absolutely can't do things like that roughhousing you were doing just now. What would your dad and I do if something happened to the baby in your belly?"
Wu Hui's earnest advice was well-intentioned.
In Jiang Manyue's view, it was the same old routine, and she had said this at least ten times already.
She's heard it so many times she's practically sick of it, and now she's completely immune to it.
Jiang Manyue also came to terms with it; Wu Hui's concern for the child in her womb wasn't wrong.
After all, a pregnancy lasting ten months must eventually come to a conclusion.
"I know, Mom, I've taken everything you said to heart. I have to admit, what you said makes a lot of sense. But Xiaofan and I have been very careful. We're sure nothing will go wrong."
"We were wrong just now. We really shouldn't have been playing around on the sofa."
"Not only will it have a negative impact, but it will also pose a risk to the baby."
